Communication Workers of America Local 3111 was originally chartered on February 1, 1968. At that time, it represented employees of Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company that worked in Sebastian, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce and Stuart, Florida. As Florida grew so did Local 3111. The Local now represents at&t and at&t mobility employees and covers all towns or cities in the following counties: Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin.

RE: Voting
I am encouraging each and every one of you to exercise your rights and let your voices be heard.
Under Article 6.04A4 of the Working Agreement you are allowed time off to go and vote. If you are planning to do so I encourage you today to advise your Forman that you will be coming in later on that day or that you will be leaving at 5:00 PM on that day and unable to work OT. Your Forman could also give you time attached with your lunch. You just need to have this conversation NOW rather than LATER so that it is not a last minute decision.
Again this is an important Presidential Election and WE should ALL be voting. We can't complain if we don't do our part.

Dear CWA Member,
I am writing to you today to share important information that may impact your health.
If you work in telecommunications, you may be exposed to lead as a result of working with and around lead-sheathed cables and other telecom plant, such as old lead splice cases, or chipping and peeling old lead paint in Central Offices or other areas. Lead is toxic and can have serious health consequences, including neurological and reproductive issues.
Because of the risks of lead exposure, telecommunications employers are required to implement voluntary blood lead testing programs. I strongly recommend that every CWA member who is eligible for a voluntary blood lead test through their employer get tested.
If a blood lead test reveals the presence of lead in your blood and you have been working with or near lead within the past month, this means that you have been exposed to lead, and your employer will determine the source(s) of exposure and ensure you have the necessary safeguards and information to avoid further exposure.
Your health matters, and blood lead tests are crucial for protecting you from the potential risks associated with lead exposure. If you meet employer’s eligibility criteria, you should follow your employer’s procedure for requesting and obtaining this test. These voluntary programs should be conducted on company time with no loss in pay or impact on performance metrics.
Please be assured that the healthcare provider conducting your blood lead test must follow a specific protocol for blood lead testing and the laboratory that analyzes your blood sample for lead must also follow a specific protocol. Your blood is only being tested for lead and your employer plays no role in the medical conduct of the blood lead test.
We urge you to schedule your blood lead test today – it's a proactive step toward a safer and healthier future for you and your family. You can learn more about testing for and preventing exposure to lead in telecommunications here.
For more information, please consult “Preventing Exposures to Lead in Telecommunications: What Every Member Should Know” available at cwa.org/lead.
In Unity,
Claude Cummings Jr.
President
***This email has been sent to all AT&T SE Local Presidents, Staff & Secretaries.**
There will be no surplus declared today for 2QTR2024.
In Unity,
Billy O'Dell
Administrative Director to the Vice President
Please see the notification below that we have received from the Company. This change does fall in line with Article 12 Section 5 of our Mobility Black CBA.
To optimize the scheduling process, all Mobility lines of business in the Cristy Swink organization will transition from the current 6-month scheduling cycle to a 3-month cycle. This shift will provide our teams with more flexible and responsive schedules, along with better aligning our experts with the changing demands of our customers.
What:
Who’s Impacted:
Effective Dates:
As per our discussion, effective January 1, 2023 (retroactively) through December 31, 2024, employees who are enrolled in an AT&T self-insured medical program will have the member cost share waived for all virtual healthcare visits offered through Your Personal Healthcare Team by Included Health.
Currently, the member cost (pre-deductible) is $35/visit for Virtual primary care visits, Urgent Care and Behavioral Health visits, outside of preventative services. These services will now be provided at no cost to the member.
This change coincides with a bill Congress passed which allows plan sponsors to pay for telehealth services pre-deductible for qualified high deductible health plans. This legislation is in place until December 31, 2024.
The Included Health app is available via smartphones or tablets. To access Your Personal Healthcare Team, members can download the app at includedhealth.com/get-the-app/, or they can call 1-800-374-1009.
A Summary of Material Modifications will be sent to employees detailing this change as soon as administratively feasible, likely in late February.
The Company reserves the right to modify, terminate or extend this waived service fee at the discretion of the Company.
